Explorers Room with Flash Strap:
Playlist
from June 18, 2015

This is where all of culture and all of time are collapsed into one seductive portal and viewed through the panoramic lens of the exotic. Come and embark on an armchair-travel virtual-voyage to the heart of timeless darkness and beyond; embrace the numinous monolith of the exotic immensity. Let us find that place where hybridization meets its destiny as pure fantasy. Let us become observers observing those others who are ourselves. You wear your mask and I'll wear mine.

I would say the grass is always greener, though I know nothing of St. Louis. Being near the ocean is no doubt good for soul. As is good music! At least you are close to that.

Eh, you'd be surprised how relatively little good music there is in these parts. It ain't the old days, whenever those were

speaking of the stones: if you want to get really steamed, check out the article on the AV club, "How sticky fingers invented southern rock" or something like that. it's such pure garbage, it's genuinely fascinating

Hey C! I go till ten whenever I can, just for you latecomers, so dear are you to my heart

I mostly adore the A.V. Club and especially its commentariat (one of the few that's as cool as the FMU commentariat) and I don't know much about southern rock, but just from the title, that article looked like hot garbage for sure.

Will have to check that article out, sounds hilarious.

I have quite liked AV Club for a long time, and while I'm not ready to ring the funeral bells yet, but they've been leaking talent horribly for a few years now... between this and the "Most Skippable" beatles songs (which included I am the Walrus, and like a 3rd of the Abbey road medley), I've lost what little faith i had in their music section. which was never their strong suit anyway, in my opinion. And now the Dissolve, having leeched all their film writers, is a vastly superior site for flick reviews

dear to me you are as well,Evan!
...and if this is a mutual admiration society i should tell you i bought your album on bandcamp. -'sorry i didn't pay more for it, but i did what i could. i spread my bandcamp purchases pretty thin. i try to divide sorta evenly whatever balance i have in my paypal account.

'never heard of the "av club",but it sounds like i may be too late!
...i have little patience for the majority of self-appointed authorities anyway.

Flash,if i like something enough to download it,i never take it for free.(unless i don't have the option to pay- which i Love,because it means they're doing alright,i guess!)... i put it in my wishlist 'till i have money in my account if i have to.

I've never liked their music section much anyway. But now that the Dissolve has dumped Nathan Rabin, the My World of Flops series is back on A.V.! Hooray!
